Arch Linux User Repository

so, now the download url is a get request to https://www.opendesign.com/guestfiles/get?filename=ODAFileConverter_QT6_lnxX64_8.3dll_25.8.deb and it seem to point at a temporary url at https://guestfiles.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/ODAFileConverter_QT6_lnxX64_8.3dll_25.8.deb.... I am not sure what is the proper way to update the package. and everything comes to my mind is a dirty solution.

well I just stop here then.

EDIT: even the old deb packages are moved there, so this PKGBUILD is broken!!!

EDIT 2: if i find no solution, I'll disown the package.

Thank you @zanny! That fixed it. Quick question, any interest in adopting http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teighaviewer-qt5 ... since it's been disowned?

They do this every time. That's terrible for proper packaging. :/

Turns out they did a version increment despite not changing the dl, fixed. Try a clean build because extracts won't override all the old files properly.

@zanny thank you. I have another error now:

==> Extracting sources...

    Aborting...

The remote deb changed but it works on a rebuild so I updated the pkgbuild. Kind of annoying to have them changing the same versioned release though.

Trying to install 4.3.2.0-1 on Manjaro I get:

TeighaFileConverter_QT5_lnxX64_4.7dll.deb ... FAILED
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

Nice. Your package looks cleaner and into Arch's KISS philosophy than mine. A binary named TeighaFileConverter isn't much trouble for using in Arch (e.g. virtualbox has binary VBox), but I don't see much problem in renaming it.

Besides doing delete request for the the qt4 package, could you do a merge request for this qt5 package?

I took a stab at rewriting this package. Since Open Design doesn't even advertise the qt4 version anymore I intend to get rid of it.

For now, the new package is found at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teigha-file-converter

I reorganized it to install to /opt since this is a proprietary bundle package. If anyone has a link to where the extra license in here came from, I could add that instead of the awful four lines of copyright text in the actual package.

The only up in the air question is about binary and package names - teigha-file-converter abides by Arch convention. TeighaFileConverter is what everything is actually named in Teigha. Freecad auto-detects the converter at /usr/bin/TeighaFileConverter, so for right now I just symlink it to teigha-file-converter. Which isn't very Arch-like. So if popular concensus is just to call it TeighaFileConverter everywhere (including the package name) I could easily refactor that.

If nobody has any complaints, I'll adopt the qt4 package as well and submit deletes on both and have teigha-file-converter replace them.

The license is also messed up. You have to manually add a file to the build directory called license and paste in the license...

I've been updating the PKGBUILD with version number and sha256sums. You should replace _version=4.3.1.0 with _version=4.3.2.0 and run updpkgsums in the PKGBUILD dir to update the sums. Then the package installs fine as of today.
